[@chronic_slayer5703]

I watched a few of your vids lately and i want to say a huge thanks. Screw all the people in the comments this is YOUR channel, explain things how you want. Keep on keepin on man

[@peterfiedfm5104]

Dude i love this, thats my car too so this really makes me focus. Navigator they look so good.

[@constantdarkfog49]

Scott, I'm surprised you did not apply Meguiar's Fast Finish, for my car I find it too be the best on interior's. Gives good protection & shows as a nice matte finish. It even helps repel dust, I do my interior maybe once a month & it always looks great. Good video thanks

[@adriancota9440]

You're the best detailer Scott. I enjoy very much your videos.

[@chifanhana23]

Thank you Scott for your awesome instructive videos. You've just gained another subscriber...

Dallas Paint Correction & Auto Detailing. Hi i was wondering what could use in the winter time i live in the north east boston we get lots of ice and snow i would appreciate all the help thank you

[@foodie8122]

That is one of my favorite spray wax. Thank you for great tip for interior protection! Keep up the great work!

[@KasperJamz]

The quick wax works really well thanks for the advice....

[@johnthorn923]

Hi Scott, just found your site. You make good videos. I live in New Zealand and we don’t have your variety of products, but certainly have some. Thanx for taking the time. JayTee

[@MrAndco924]

Coverall, TW Freshshine, and good ole Armorall is all I use but another great video. Thanks

[@odyofael]

Thanks for the informative video. Just w as ng to chime in. I use Meguiar's Natural Shine. The dash of my 2000 e39 wagon looks new all the time.

[@lockcracker]

Scott thanks for this tip. My interior is "charcoal" and in my opinion the dash looks faded. It always has to me, although the truck is only 2 years old. I will give this a try.

[@looleanyeap133]

Thank you Scott, I learned a lot from you. My detailing business is growing in Malaysia.

[@stephenm3874]

Appreciate your sharing your experience. Just starting out in my own dealing business.

[@emmanuelel-badawi5970]

I used Meguiars Gold Class Trim Detailer on a really old cracked and greyed out looking dash. It was like magic, pretty much looked brand new, just an alternative to tyre shine emergency. :) Very helpful video!

[@julzmax956]

I use Meguiars Natural finish interior spray. Makes the interior plastics look better than new and it smells great.

[@alsimoncelli7313]

Scott, thanks the informative video! I’m looking for a dash dressing that is protective but keeps the matte appearance. I’m not a fan of any shine at all. I currently use 303 to shiny for me. Thanks!

[@PeterPuckII]

The spray Trim Shine is a little easier to control but with similar results. Trim shine is great for inside plastics as long it's not an area you touch.

[@jessiesnider7704]

I liked ur video. U know ur stuff and you are kindhearted. .

[@syedzukarnainsyedmohd3208]

Still the best is pledge with silicon...non sticky n last longer....and shining..i used this for my tyre as well...awesome...

[@dennisthemenance5433]

I use Sun Shade in my cars when left outside for long period of the day.. and Have Tinted -Gila Windows to help filter out the suns rays..

[@woncho1]

Scott. You sure demonstrate some of the Gyeon products. One of my favourite company I love many of they products. PS keep up with the good videos.

[@me9303]

Very imformitive ,very educated... Thanks man

[@speterbilt]

Meguiars Natural Shine is the best and it's cheap. Love your videos

[@skyblue7653]

Great video thanks thanks for uploading it great job 👍

[@jameshutchins3396]

I had some light blue plastic on my car doors that had white splotches on them (2005 impala cop car that was given to my wife) I had some mothers back to black and thought what the neck, I will give it a shot. I have no idea how long it will last but ALL of the white splotchy areas went away. Just has a bit more shine than I like ... Will see how it does with time.

[@Snarky.]

I have a bunch of glossy black surfaces in my interior. I use interior detailer to clean the dust off and it leaves a little streaking. I saw this and thought I'm going to 1 up you and use ultimate quick wax by meguiars. It was not good at all. Then I used the cheaper "sine as you dry quick wax" by meguiars and it was truly amazing. It left no streaks. It enhanced the feel of it. It gave it a good shine. And I noticed that dust has not collected as fast. What a hack!!!

[@dallaspaintcorrectionautod8343]

are you calling me a Hack Taylor:)...im glad you enjoyed shine as you dry quick wax by meguiars that i used in this video:)...and yes its cheap!

[@pssst3]

I clean my cars' interior plastics with LVP Cleaner. I could probably get the same results with an APC, but parts of the plastic have been redyed. I don't like tire dressings or plastic trim that looks shinier than new or feels greasy. I've tried the Qwik wax on half of my dash found it too glossy, and it attracted dust faster than the cleaned bare plastc did. My go-to plastic and rubber protectant is Aerospace Formula 303, goofy name) which I had bought originally for outdoor vinyl products. It's water based and a day after applying the dash looks like nothing was applied, no discernable difference in gloss. I can clean it with a lightly misted microfiber towel. Tires, exterior trim, and underhood plastic and hoses treated with this a few times each year still looked good after 11 years of using it on a 2004 Honda Element. I don't know how your customers would react to a product that doesn't look like it's there, but you might want to test it on your own vehicle.

[@thefragrancecritic9136]

Honestly I have tried this product on my 3 different vehicles with wood veneer or faux wood and I didn’t see any difference at all. But I do love it as a drying aid

[@trayday1129]

beautiful navigator dude!

[@bret9741]

Nice. It looks good on my phone. I don’t like gloss at all, I prefer it look as close to “off the factory” lot as possible. Do you think any of the dressings help reduce dust build up? I work in construction and in order to keep my vehicle clean i open all the doors and then blow out my vehicle using a rubber tip 150 psi 5.9 CFM. I use the rubber tip just in case I kit something. Anyway my truck is a 13 f-150 Platinum. The plastic dash has warped just a little and it’s blotchy. I think I’ll try the Magyars product you use. Low gloss and even coverage is ideal.

[@jimcorrigall560]

Scott question for you. Can you use beezwax, a very light coat, on a dashboard and or vinyl as a protective coating. Or could it attract uv rays and or dirt, or damage?

[@avelinoGonzales]

Chemical Guys InnerClean is my favorite right now. It leaves a nice, matte factory look finish to the dash and trim. nice smell as well. I've used all of Meguair's interior products and they all leave a shiny "greasy" finish that seems to attract dirt and dust. Chemical Guys Sprayable Leather Cleaner & Conditioner also works really good on the interior vinyl if you like the finish with a little more depth and shine and it doesn't feel greasy. Thanks for your great videos Scott. I look forward to seeing new ones in my feed.

[@hotsauce61488]

hey man enjoyed your video, i use this often and love it, one of my cars the interior has many layers and buttons etc that are very close to eachother, one area is leather, one suede, how do you apply this to the dash and interior without getting it on other close knit areas u dont want the vrp getting on ?

[@jameskoralewski1006]

I put a dressing on the dashboard once a year and it is still shiny and protecting when I renew it. And that was in Miami, Fl. Wases are not good for plastic parts. The best product that I have found for dashboards and door plastic panels is made by Lexol and is called Vinylex Protectant.

[@Scott_6666]

Scott, what do you prefer on dashboards - X Press Wax or Protect All?

[@jmeh20]

You can tint the front windshield with the high rating UV tint just go as clear as you can get it.

[@armadillotoe]

I use 303 Aerospace Protectant. 18 years in Texas sun, no cracking or fading on my F-150 dash.

[@Espinal_424]

With the vrp what is you dilute it a bit to not make it as glossy? What would be a good ratio

[@johncarter144]

hey scott i have a 91 fleetwood brougham and lets say the interior has seen better days lol but what would u use to bring life back into the interior and make it look like new ?

[@msimrow]

I have a 2016 ford fusion titanium with a glossy center console peice that got scratched up. What is the best thing to use to buff it out by hand?

[@nm9412]

How is Maguires Synthetic spray wax different from Protect All? I think they are the same project under different labels.

[@roberthenn3722]

Scott. I have looked for those 3 for a $1 applicator pads at both Dollar General and the Dollar Tree stores and the employees say they have never seen them before. Please tell me what dollar store you shop for these pads. Love videos. Keep them coming.

[@shawnbeck2303]

If people don't like this KZbin channel! Then don't watch or listen to it or him. I watched some of his detailing videos. My 2004 Concorde LXI limited in exterior white paint and Charcoal leather interior. Looks amazing! Washed it with Boat and RV wash! Then wiped down the panels with 50% liquid tar remover and 90% alcohol sprayed on a Microfiber towel. Then used Mother's Claybar on tbe panels. Next Meguiars Ceramic Hybird wax on a Microfiber sponge. Side to side and Back and forth. Over the whole car. Window's and Chrome rims. Then hit the panels with water for 5 minutes. Wiped car dry. Windows and chrome rims too. With a drying towel. The car looked brand new! A 15 year old car that sits outside all year long. So all you trolls out there. Give his way a try. Then, Run your mouths! It really Works. All his info! Enough Said! Shawn

[@benmisner6457]

Scott please come back I love your videos and your knowledge we miss u

[@stephenP1979]

Great video as always!! Can u do a video of your favorite tire dressings?

[@dallaspaintcorrectionautod8343]

i already have a video talking about the tire dressings i use

[@jonnieinbangkok]

Nice comparison Darren.

[@InFltSvc]

This really works !

[@markrush5942]

you sound like ray romano.... great vid! i use 303 .

[@70DMac]

I have some turtle wax ice spray wax in the garage. I'm going to try that out tomorrow. It's on an older truck so not too worried how it comes out. I doubt it will be bad.

[@Mantis858585]

70DMac i use it, it works fine

[@georgemorfesi8022]

Scott, can you answer a question for me? I applied Meguiars Supreme shine ( Wipes ) to my dashboard, following the instructions to the letter. Three months later, the dash still has an oily residue to the touch, and it's fogging up the windshield in the morning. Can you recommend a way of removing this stuff, so I can apply a better quality treatment? Thank you.

[@nkhjk3457]

i clean mine once in a while and to protect it from the sun, i just cover it with a windshield cover, i lay the cover over it and i guess i never had issues, and its an old car to be honest 97 civic dash holds up good XD

[@mikekerr4874]

I finally tried using Quik Wax (an old bottle I bought years ago and never really used until now) on the interior of my car tonight (dash, doors, leatherette seats, etc.) and love it. The rear deck (hard plastic) felt very dried out prior to this (it was very grabby when I massaged the product in with a MF; now it feels much better. I attribute this to it being a 4 year old car that has never been treated. I did this after watching another video of you doing the same, so thank you. My question is, how would you compare Quik Wax to the X-Press Spray Wax? Thanks for all your videos, they've been very informational and helpful to me as a lifelong car enthusiast.

[@Abstract-Art-Yohannan]

I had the same question?

[@alexisamtosta]

I dont like gloss on the dash board as well. Specially because where I live is full of tunnels and you get all that glare before entering a tunnel and many acciddents happen due to that. The Hyper Wax in around 85 dollars a gallon here in the UK.

[@kencorsell8087]

I’m surprised you didn’t recommend using the Invisible Glass front windshield cleaner applicator to apply the finish to the dash. You could just keep one just for dashboards.

[@ahdam82]

Any tips to get a high gloss wet look on the dash?

[@DivineTrueGod]

hey Scott, Are all these products safe to use on leather dashboards? ... since all leather interiors have some type of color coating or colored plastic coating to protect the leather, the leather's surface is not real leather.

[@basilleonardo]

What would you use for a slightly textured dash, like an '07 Saab 9-3 (just as a random example!)? Black, but not smooth like the one in your video.

[@nmore69]

These videos are gold

[@denk25143]

where did you get the spray bottles because the ones i buy are crap

[@TheGracieVshow]

Hi. Great videos! What do you think about ICE SPRAY DETAILER for the dashboard and interior?

[@dallaspaintcorrectionautod8343]

i like the ice line from turtle wax..im sure it would work just fine:)

[@nickkrikorian5780]

Scott i spent 200 dollars on dressings to try and find the right product for the new 2019 camry dashboard. It has a rubbery dashboard. Can you please reccomend the right product if you have worked on those dashboards before.

[@Dadee3]

King Scott has spoketh!!!!!!!!!

[@quinones355]

how does this compare to 303 aero space protectant

[@gary1705]

I don’t use anything other than a wipe over with a damp cloth . I found with any protectants they make the windscreen get a film on it after being in the sun 😩

[@speterbilt]

Wrong. It's the gases releasing from the plastic drying them out over the years

[@KECIKKCHANNEL]

can i use trim wax to dash ?

[@Benjamin-jm5tk]

That's really clean, i just bought chemical guys interior cleaning, ill try this next

[@boknows7773]

I just bought the chemicsl guys interior cleaner today how's it been working for you? I have a black dash.

[@tee-fullcleaningmobiledeta2939]

Spray it on with a paint gun or use detail spray....I spray in on with the paint gun and there is no problem with streaking anymore.

[@hoffmandave7150]

What about wipe new. Do a review on that.

[@JediObiDave]

Does armor all actually work or is it a waste of money compared to these products?

[@freddieslaughter9659]

What about 303 protectant?

[@pariahzero]

Not quite on topic, but I'm dying to know: what is that little gauge stuck to the air vent (next to the clock)? I enjoy your videos and appreciate all the work you put into them.

[@dallaspaintcorrectionautod8343]

you have a great eye for detail:)...its a temperature gauge because i was having issues with my ac system a while back and my anal brain wanted to check vent temperature..lol....thanks for your support and kind words:)

[@LLWW]

I have a 2012 Honda civic and its dash is flaking/crumbling apart and we hardly ever use it and I've applied stuff to it at least 1 usually 4 times a year. It's so upsetting.

[@mikecee_bbq1802]

[@JPVee511]

I keep learning new tricks with each video of yours, but I was really surprised by this one. Spray waxes/sealants on the dash? Will try it on my beater project.

[@eddierichards3574]

Not spray carnuva car wax. This is spray Synthetic WAX. This kind of wax works great on auto dashboards and trim plastic.

[@stephenowen1644]

I have a 93 GMC Sierra SLE with 421,000 miles, drives like new, I only recently started taking better care of her. What would be best to use on the interior plastic?

[@noelaguirre7104]

Google plastic and rubber protectant, some even offer UV protection. I apply that stuff to all plastic and rubber areas in all my cars at least once a year keeps the parts in good shape for life. Ther are some premium brands but any brand could be ok as long as you apply something.

[@davidsteckley8846]

Personally I like 303 interior cleaner. Is kind of pricey. After a week of being on the dash is still clean so I figured during the weekly cleaning I just need to spray a little bit and alpha care Pat and just quickly go over the dash not much product will be needed. It's not greasy it does shine in a little bit but it keeps the dash out it's more natural looking color

[@KasperJamz]

I normally use coverall but it’s really wet/greasy

[@jameskoralewski1006]

Why no silicone wiper blade inserts?

[@Asian_Jeff3411]

My dashboard is a lil sun burnt already.. can I still use this

[@genebusbey8569]

Can you use the magic eraser and the cleaner/wax on tinted windows, or stick with mildly soapy water?

[@jasonpanto]

Water

[@rondhole]

It looks shiny and nice until you drive it under direct sunlight and glare on the windshields. Its vapour also make the windshield foggy. For coating with satin colors, you can use any car polish instead. It keeps the dashboard protected from water and sunlight but not shiny/oily. Ceramic coating is not good because it gives tons or reflections too. I used ceramic coating on the buttons of radio, plastic trims and door handle but not under the windshield. Ceramic coating works better than interior conditioner because it last much longer, cheaper ($3 ceramic coating works fine), and does not leave any residue once it is fully cured.

[@richardpoole5928]

Do they all work on grey vinyl ?

[@fun2drive107]

Lexol for vinyl and leather conditioner for my Jeep Grand Cherokee which is leather.

[@dallaspaintcorrectionautod8343]

Fun2 Drive I'm sure your leather is coated leather...No? If it is, all your doing is wiping a so called conditioner on plastic and it can't penetrate into the leather.

[@dkitsap1]

Wow, you sure love tapping your dashboard!

[@dallaspaintcorrectionautod8343]

sometimes on a saturday afternoon , i just go out to my car and tap the dashboard....you have to try it..its so much fun:)

@@dallaspaintcorrectionautod8343 😂

[@downroute9]

Slight tangent but I notice some hi-gloss plastic wood (or maybe it's actual wood in a Navigator?) trim. My car (Mercedes) interior is full of hi-gloss piano black plastic that's prone to scratching by even passing dust particles - or so it seems! I wondered if in your experience these surfaces are treated with a clearcoat type protection that can then be corrected? I'd be interested to know how you care for such surfaces in your, and customer, cars? And any product recommendations. Another idea for a quick vid maybe? Thanks for the uploads. Keep up the good work.

[@dallaspaintcorrectionautod8343]

great question..check out my video titled "polishing car interior trim"..it should help answer all your questions..thanks for your comment and support

[@sawdustadikt979]

Never knew you could use that on a dash! First time watching your channel. One question, what part of New England are you from? Your accent almost sounds southern New England.

[@PeteNice29]

So it doesn't outgas and leave a haze all over your windshield?

[@onrdetailingnews802]

try turtle wax trim restorer that stuff is very good try that

[@dallaspaintcorrectionautod8343]

im not a fan of turtle wax but thank you for the tip

[@TomBrooklyn]

What about the classic original dressing, the industry standard: Armor All?

[@pmheart6]

I see you like mcguires synthetic spray wax fir dressing, and on windows. You clean more than dress, what do you clean with.

[@dallaspaintcorrectionautod8343]

[@tonyvilla2104]

Can you use the magic eraser on tinted windows

[@sun9912]

Yes

[@jameskoralewski1006]

Vinylex Protectant does for plastic and vinyl what their leather conditioner does for leather.

[@RanGer-498]

You still think this or do you think something newer that has come out is better?

[@nettejean5912]

What part of NY are you from?

[@hallmarksdetailingllc8078]

I use CarPro PERL on the dash. Or I use 303 Aerospace which is SUPER great. It doesn't really darken the dash or any of that, it's just basically UV protection in a bottle, like sunscreen. It's available too me at AutoZone & Walmart. Depending on the condition of the dash depends on what I use. On new dashes, they get 303, on faded plastic it gets PERL. 303 also has to be applied every 1-2 months. Perl obviously lasts a bit longer. I also use perl undiluted.

[@dallaspaintcorrectionautod8343]

all great products:)
